Blackmore and de Bromhead double up with Mormon

Mormon collared long-time-leader Duchess Ravenwaves coming to the last in the two mile five maiden hurdle at Tramore to bring up a double for Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore.

The six-year-old son of Stowaway kept on to oblige by two and a quarter lengths and justify 2/1 favouritism.

His stablemate, Insult finished to good effect for second at 12/1. Moratorium (10/1), trained by Gordon Elliott, gave Gigginstown a one-two-three in the race.

Henry de Bromhead said: "I thought we might have been leaving it a bit late, but that's why we have her (Rachael Blackmore), she timed it to perfection, it was a brilliant ride from her.

"He is a nice horse and is an out and out chaser. I'm delighted. He is bigger than the first lad (Notebook), but on that softer ground it gives them a chance around here. Anything he does this year is a bonus for next year."

This was a third winner on the day for Gigginstown - two in Tramore and one in Fairyhouse.
